RESUMO
BACKGROUND: In the Spanish and Catalan context, there is currently a lack of standardized, linguistically adapted tools to assess people with communication disorders. This lack is especially evident when it comes to instruments designed to assess functional communication. AIMS: The main objective of this study is to adapt the instrument entitled Communication Activities of Daily Living 3rd edition (CADL-3) into European Spanish (CADL-3VE) and Catalan (CADL-3VC), thus providing a new tool to assess the functional communication of patients with aphasia in the Spanish and Catalan populations. METHODS & PROCEDURES: A total of 152 people, all residents of Catalonia, took part in the study. The CADL-3VE test was administered to 125 Spanish-speaking participants, who were divided into two groups, one consisting of patients with aphasia and the other a control group. The CADL-3VC test was administered to 27 Catalan-speaking patients with aphasia. Other tests and assessment scales were used for the external validation of the test. OUTCOMES & RESULTS: Reliability scores were recorded for both new versions of the test. There was a very strong correlation between the CADL-3VE test and external criteria. The scores for both of the new versions showed significant differences in terms of performance between the aphasia and control groups. Both versions displayed similarities with the original test with respect to most of the psychometric analyses carried out. CONCLUSION & IMPLICATIONS: The test makes it possible to assess everyday communicative functioning and participation in real-world contexts. As such, it helps inform the creation of personalized, interdisciplinary treatment plans aimed at functional objectives that consider the patient's context. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on the subject In order to effectively assess aphasia based on a bio-psycho-social perspective, it is necessary to examine functional communication. In other words, there is a need to explore the kinds of communication difficulties that people face in their everyday lives. Communication Activities of Daily Living (CADL-3) is an English-language test that was developed to assess functional communication by simulating certain everyday activities. What this study adds This paper offers an analysis of the items, reliability and validity of the Spanish and Catalan versions of the CADL-3 test. What are the clinical implications of this work? This new instrument has the potential to play an essential role in assessing the everyday functional communication of people with aphasia in Spain.

La pragmática constituye un marco teórico para interpretar la comunicación humana que en términos generales centra su atención en el estudio del uso del lenguaje de manera contextualizada. Entre otros aspectos, la pragmática está relacionada con las intuiciones e inquietudes de los hablantes sobre cómo deben usar el lenguaje. En toda conversación se da intrínsecamente reflexión metalingüística y metacomunicativa, de forma más o menos consciente y más o menos evidente. El objetivo de este artículo ha sido revisar el papel que desempeña la metacognición y algunas de las categorías metalingüísticas más significativas que por razones distintas indican mejor el nivel de desarrollo pragmático de los niños: la imitación y las autocorrecciones espontáneas. La perspectiva pragmática subraya la importancia que tiene para la adquisición del lenguaje aprender a captar la intencionalidad más allá de la literalidad de las palabras. En este sentido, los procesos metalingüísticos y metacognitivos son procesos recursivos que contribuyen a entender cómo llegamos a ser capaces de captar intenciones y compartir significados (AU)
Pragmatics provides a theoretical framework to interpret human communication, which generally focuses its attention on the study of contextualized use of language. Among other aspects, pragmatics is related to the intuitions and concerns of the speakers on how they should use the language. Intrinsically metalinguistic and metacommunicative reflection occurs in every conversation, in a more or less conscious and more or less evident manner. The aim of this article has been to review the role played by metacognition and some of the most significant metalinguistic categories that, for different reasons, better indicate the level of pragmatic development of children: Imitation and spontaneous self-corrections. Pragmatic perspective emphasizes the importance of learning to catch intentionality beyond the literality of words in the process of language acquisition. Metalinguistic and metacognitive processes are recursive processes that contribute to understand how we become capable of grasping intentions and sharing meanings (AU)
